PTC man climbs hemisphere’s tallest mountain for needy kids

Four years ago, Peachtree City resident Brad Jubin had never even contemplated climbing a mountain.

I wasnt exercising or eating right. I weighed 250 pounds and climbing stairs was a challenge, Jubin said. I was at a Souly Business retreat, accepted Christ and had a single prayer, to get healthy for the sake of my kids.

Jubin said he got home from the retreat and fell back into his usual habits. He still wasnt eating right or exercising. Two weeks later, Rick Davidson, then president of Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty, talked about Climb for Kids, an event that would raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

I thought, I can climb a mountain and lose some weight, Jubin said. I told Rick Id like to give it a try. He told me I would experience something at the top of the mountain.

Jubin stated that the process of getting in shape for that first climb was like a light switch being flipped. He also found the fund-raising aspect, something he didnt think he would enjoy, to be his favorite part.

The Climb for Kids that year raised $40,000 for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, which meant that 40 kids would be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister. Jubin thought back to his prayer, to get healthy for the sake of his kids, and was blown away by how completely his prayers had been answered.
